...until death do re-unite or the Priestess return to Avalon.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
The moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self .
This character appears in one of my short stories, and also in the novel. He's sadder than he looks, poor thing.
About Me
- JJ
- Ashbourne, Derbyshire, United Kingdom
- I've never had money because I've never been driven by money. I received little formal education beyond the age of sixteen, which isn't such a bad thing since you get a different angle on life that way. Learning what you want and need to learn often reveals things that the system's road keeps hidden.
BOOKS
Anyone interested in viewing the availablity of my novel Odyssey or novella The Gift Horse can do so here.

Free Fiction
I have another blog called A Handful of Stories on which I've posted some of my short fiction. Most of it has been published by a variety of independent small press publishers, so somebody other than me must have thought it worth reading.

I just stumbled across your blog from Roisin's Child of Danu'. Love your writing style and wit. Thanks for the morning smiles. - Kathy
Thank you, Kathy. I appreciate that. Sometimes, though, the jokes get missed, especially when I'm mad (that is, nuts.)
Mr. Beazley, you need a cat. And this cat needs a human. If i were in the UK i'd go get him. :o)

No cat for me, Andrea. Cats and I don't really get on. they can be very beautiful, but our natures don't mix.
I know you care a lot for birds. Do you have a dog? I don't think i've ever read a post in which you've mentioned a dog, but i notice you are with one in your profile pic.
Want to know something strange? When i typed do you have a dog for some reason i typed god instead of dog. Hmmmm...
No dog either, I'm afraid. Don't really need one. The local dogs mostly come and greet me when I go for a walk. It's cheaper to get my dog fix that way. I get on very well with dogs.
The dog in the pic is Penny. She died, but she had a good long life.
I'm sorry to hear about your dog. But i'm glad to hear of her good, long life.
It's a few years ago now, Andrea. She has her very own grave with lots of other dogs in a quiet part of Shropshire. Regarding the earlier comment, my name up until age 8 was Godwin, so my nickname was God. Fancy that.
